New to cycling and curious about participating in the 2020 Texas Mamma Jamma Ride? This event is for you!

For many new to cycling, getting on a bike and going for a ride may feel like the easy part. What's not so easy is understanding everything else that's involved with riding a bike. In this beginner-friendly session, we'll cover the basics of cycling such as different types of bikes, bike fit, apparel, gear and much more. This will be an inclusive and welcoming setting, and a great chance for you to ask all your questions.

Free bike demos will be offered too! If you're interested in a particular make and model, this is your chance to try one out on a relaxed pace, 30-minute guided ride. Please RSVP to reserve your bike demo > https://tinyurl.com/tuxu588
